Download binutils and glibc-devel as RPM files as well, and install those. I find the best way to install RPMs is to use rpm -ivh <filename> from a console. I still cannot understand why SuSE don't give people binutils and gcc with the system.
Oh, and on a side note for this driver if you are using a 2.6.x kernel it must be greater than version 2.6.7 due to an incompatibility.

These are the files I needed to d/l for SuSE 9.1:
gcc-3.3.3
glibc-devel-2.3.3
kernel-default-2.6.8 (downloaded from the 9.2 archive).

I think with SuSE 9.2 you should be ok with the default kernel.

thanks for that! i think i got the binutils ok but i'm having trouble finding glibc-devel rpm files i found some stuff but they all need other things when I try to install them shouldn't there just be one glibc-devel rpm file i can download and install?

[Leylox]

Ok i'm really not having much success here - everytime i try and instal gcc it says it needs glibc-devel - everytime i try and install glibc-devel it says i need gcc is there a version of linux that might be more compatible with my modem?

[andrewdodd13]

Just try rpm -ivh gcc* glibc*
That should install both packages

glibc-2.3.3-93.i686.rpm
error: V3 DSA signature: BAD, key ID 9c800aca
have i got the wrong file...?

[Leylox]

I give up

Hey guys, anyone know how to get this working on Smoothwall?

When I try using ./configure I get an error message. I can't remember what it is at the moment, but it's something along the lines of
'./configure - no such file or directory'

Please help!

Also, rpm doesn't seem to be installed.

[andrewdodd13]

If it says ./configure is not found it probably means that you're trying to compile in the wrong directory or that you've not untarred the source package.

RPM is a package manager specific originally to RedHat (as in Redhat Package Manager) but is now also found in SuSE and some other distros.

Thanks for the quick reply.

When I try changing directories from root using:

cd /eciadsl-usergroup-0.9

which is where my files are, it just keeps putting me back into the root folder.

I'm a complete Linux noob, especially when it comes to the command line, so I'm probably doing something stupid. If you could tell me the correct commands for doing this, I would be very grateful. Thanks in advance

[andrewdodd13]

Don't do / as / means the root directory, you either drop it or a . in front of it, like so:

./eciadsl-usergroup-0.9

However, I would recommend against using this version as it is out date and may cause problems.
